Allow editing on Proton Sheets for Mobile
Proton Sheets works well on Laptop/Desktop but when viewing via the Proton Drive app on mobile (I have a Google Pixel 6a) the message "Screen too small for editing"... is displayed.
Flipping to landscape allows editing but the keyboard takes up the whole screen so it's obvious Proton Sheets was designed only only to be used on larger devices at this stage.
Would be good if work were completed to enable editing and generally update the mobile app so that Proton Sheets is truly functional via mobile.

Yes, it's important to share a small sheet of paper with other people on signal

Please make this work on iOS. The inability to edit Proton Sheets on my iPhone is the only thing stopping me from totally divesting from the Google ecosystem.

This is a fatal problem. Proton Sheets is basically d.o.a. if it doesn't work well on mobile. This is 2026, not 2006.
I see that this says "Planned - Feb. 16, 2026" up there, but it is now Apr. 14, 2026, so we're about 2 months behind when this was expected to be resolved.
I needed this today for a project, but am going to have to resort to CryptPad or something else in the interim, because 90% of my volunteer project team are going to be phone users not laptop or PC users when they need to make updates to the spreadsheet in question (an event-scheduling thing).

Mobile is how I use Google Sheets most often, so it is what is preventing me from fully transitioning to just being able to use Proton products.

That's essential. Otherwise, proton sheets is not an option

Blocking me from using Proton Drive. I keep hearing that it's on the roadmap but no timeline is ever provided. This is a deal breaker for me.

This is going to be a dealbreaker for me if it doesn't get added soon. Mobile sheets editing is a must have for my family and I.

I try to move away from Google Sheets but this is always the complain i get from friends and family if i share a Proton Sheet. So this feature would be very helpful for me!

Additionally, whilst in either view-only or edit mode on a mobile (Pixel 9), I'm unable to drag-scroll horizontally - the entire webview (presuming it's a webview) is moved rather than the scrollable pane. Dragging the scroll bar widget doesn't work either, although tapping somewhere in the scrollbar track does.

I think the problem is they actually need some custom apps instead of just being a portal to the web page. To be specific, even the current Proton Drive app that does the Proton Docs isn't near being reasonably competitive against the Google Docs apps that use GUIs designed for mobile instead of acting like a browser on a web version that is slow and clunky to use.
While I understand that it's better for Proton to release Sheets as it is on their development path, it's not usable for me yet, but thanks for the effort for heading towards me having a chance one day of getting private sheet editing on mobile
